Can't see the pic.

However, if it is not of the aurea/trogon group, the most likely is A. democritus lycaenaria.

TL Seow :Cheers.

I am now certain that it is Arhopala democritus lycaenaria.

It certainly is.
This beautiful Oakblue was recorded from Singapore.
Perhaps it is still extant in the CCA.

How different with much more marked pattern is the subspecies from South of Thailand:
